Facebook admitted yesterday that millions of passwords were saved in plain text on its internal servers, a security note that left them readable by huge social networking employees.

"To clarify, these passwords have never been visible to anyone outside of Facebook and we have not found evidence that someone abused them or approached them incorrectly," said Pedro Chenawati, vice president of engineering, security and privacy.

The mistake was revealed during a routine security check at the beginning of the year, according to Kanahwati.

He said that Silicon Valley company expects to inform hundreds of millions of Facebook Lite users; Tens of millions of other Facebook users, and tens of thousands of Instram users whose passwords are exposed to prying eyes.

The basic security flaw was revealed by a series of controversies that focused on whether Facebook properly protects the privacy and data of its users.

The basic error in data protection will also appear in contrast to Facebook's Marker Zuckerberg's "hacker" mantra, which he adopted on the social network.

One Hacker Way is the main address of Facebook's vast campus in Manlo Park, California.

Brian Krebs of the security news website KrebsOnSecurity.com cited a source without Facebook name by saying the internal investigation so far indicated that up to 600 million social network users have account passwords stored in plain text files for search by more than 20,000 employees.

The exact number has not yet been determined, but archives with unencrypted user passwords have been found since 2012, according to Krebs.

"We have set these issues and as a precautionary measure we will inform all those whose passwords we have found stored in this way," Kanhwati said.

A short course of antibiotics for people with covert tuberculosis can prove to be the most effective way to stop the spread of the disease, as there is currently no effective vaccine, says a report published by the Lancet on Thursday.

TB is the world's largest infectious killer, cutting 1.6 million people by 2017. In SA, its spread has been fueled by HIV, making people more vulnerable to infection. SA had the second highest infection rate of TB in the world in 2017, with 567 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Some 132,000 people have recently been infected, and 78,000 people have died from tuberculosis in the SA, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

"Our failure to implement tuberculosis prevention strategies is one of the main reasons we have not yet made enough progress against tuberculosis," said Gavin Churchyard, director of the Aurum Institute in Johannesburg, and one of the authors of the report published by the Lancet Committee on Tuberculosis.

"Unless we quickly deal with the semen of Tuberculosis-Tuberculosis infection-we have no chance of removing it from a health hazard from poor communities around the world," he said.

The World Health Organization estimates that about a quarter of the world's population suffers from covert tuberculosis infection and that there is a life risk of between 5% and 15% of patients with the disease. However, vulnerable groups, such as people living with HIV, are at far greater risk of developing active TB. They are between 20 and 37 times more likely to develop the disease than people who do not have immune system compromised.

The team confiscated large quantities of finished products as well as chemicals, machinery including tablet presses, mixer, coating machine tablets (for painting tablets), two pistols, one of them without license, and a rifle loaded together with several rounds of ammunition.

"The conditions under which the steroids were produced were unregulated, uninvolved, and could, if not already, pose a health risk to those in the surgical area as well as those who consume the products," the statement said.

A fourth suspect is in the detectives' sights.

"It turned out from files seized that one of the people to whom these drugs were transferred was arrested in 2015 and in 2017 he was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison plus a fine of 900 thousand, 15 years were suspended for five years, and the police are now looking for this detail."

The National Police Commissioner, who spoke at the crime scene on Thursday morning, said: "This goes directly against government initiatives to rural developments when an agricultural property is used to produce prohibited materials."

It looks like modus operandi after the police also detected a similar multi-million Rand lab in Mandrax in Harding a few months ago.

The three men who had been arrested near Pretoria were in police custody for the time being, while the interrogations continued.

They may be poorer, following the police raid.

General Sitola said: "I have a task and investigation team to engage in the unit forfeiture of assets in an effort to seize all state property in terms of the return of the Crime Act (POCA)."

Kylie Gere has succumbed to the repair of her friendship with Gerald Woodens.

God Life of Kylie A star fell with her best friend last month after she allegedly kissed her half-brother Kloe Kardashian's brother Tristan Thompson, and insiders said TMZ are not "making any progress" in fixing their broken relationship over the last few weeks.

Woods appeared on De Pinkett Smith Red table calls To discuss the incident, during which she denied cheating with Thompson, it was said the hoped-for interview would help her win her boyfriend back, but instead, it was allegedly the opposite effect that Jared could not believe their relationship could ever be the same again .

Woods lived with Gern – his 13-year-old daughter Stormy with boyfriend Travis Scott – until the scandal broke out, and while her things were still there Keep in touch with Kardashian Guesthouse of the star, Guru kit lips waiting for her now to clear her things so that they can formally draw a line under their membership.

However, the source revealed that the candle is still open to stay friendly with Woods, 21, in the future, although they will never be again close.

It was recently claimed Jenner, also 21, is trying to expand her circle of friends after the recent fall as she no longer wants to rely on just one member.

Makor said: "Kili had a rough week, she's still troubled by the situation of Verdun, although she seems to be doing a lot better.

"She was more involved and tried to find a larger circle of friends she could be close to." After the drama of Jardin, she realized that relying on just one friend was not the best idea. "

Investing.com – The dollar moderates early on Thursday after a sharp drop as the Federal Reserve all but swears the interest rate hike again this year – a swing that can mark the end of any tightening policy cycle.

"FED's concerns about the future inflation path are stronger than expected and it seems that the cycle has really passed now," said Lee Fridge, head of multi-asset strategy, Americas Street Street Global Markets.

The index, which measures the dollar against a basket of six major currencies, lost more than half a percent in response to the news, but rallied during Asian trading hours, and at 4:00 am (Greenwich Mean Time) At 95.412, down about 0.5% from its level before the announcements. The price was $ 1.1422, just above a six-week high of $ 1.1438, while against the dollar the dollar fell to a five-week low of $ 110.36.

The Fed's updated "vision," which reflects the interest rate expected by private decision makers, no longer implies further rate hikes in 2019, and only one in 2020. The Fed also noted that it will end its balance sheet policy – "Quantitative tightening" – in the second half of the year.

The concern about the health of the economy, as implied by the announcement, surprised the markets, immediately after repeated assurances by Chairman of the Board of Directors Paul Powell and others that the economy was "in a good place."

But data from around the world pointed to a major slowdown this year in the shadow of the US-China trade dispute, a subject that seems closer to the decision after President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he intended to leave Chinese imports instead of "a significant period" and expressed doubts about China's compliance with any deal that might occur. In the near term.

The dollar's losses have been moderated by the realization that many of the world's central banks can follow them in adopting a looser policy. Some, like and, have already dialed back their expectations for tightening policy as the economy slowed down (not least because of Brexit's approach). The Bank of England is scheduled to meet later today.

"Two months ago, the Fed's hawkish response followed ionic inquiries elsewhere, keeping the" policy expectations gap "relatively stable," said John Wallis, FX and macro strategist with BNY Mellon. "While not a positive dollar, (this week) of the meeting may not end up being a negative dollar for the same reasons."

The fear of a one-time brixite returned to European markets after Prime Minister Theresa May's speech last Wednesday, which did not specify options other than the withdrawal agreement that was twice rejected by parliament or "Brexit" without an agreement in 8 days. Three months to March 29 will be discussed at the EU summit later Thursday, however, reports suggest that the unanimous approval needed from 27 other leaders will be difficult.

That was at $ 1.3186, as May's speech almost became the spike that followed the Fed's decision. However, the pound slid to a four-week low at 1.1541.

One picture makes it easy to set equality: this is when the earth is different as night and day. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) captured the glory of that passing moment on Wednesday in a photograph taken by one of the geostationary and polar weather satellites. The GOES-16, as is well known, is about 22,300 kilometers from Earth and is arranged in 75.2 longitude and equator length. The distance is far enough to provide the "full disk" spectacular images of our planet.

Twice a year, during annual and multi-year equality, the sun is directly above the equator of the Earth during its orbit, that is, the amount of light and dark is almost identical across all latitudes. The picture taken by the GOES-16 on Wednesday, the first day of spring, illustrates this divine phenomenon dramatically.

"When the Earth is halfway between the two sides of the plane plain, things get along perpendicularly, but it does not last long, as the Earth does not stop its orbit," said Aquattar senior meteorologist and astronomer Dave Samohl.

]]>You are going to need a fairly strong internet to run Google like Netflix as a video game servicehttps://fozoh.com/africa/you-are-going-to-need-a-fairly-strong-internet-to-run-google-like-netflix-as-a-video-game-service/

Google has a huge giant gaming platform called Stadia, which streams cash games to almost any device.

Instead of relying on a traditional gaming console, Stadia runs in the cloud – games are streamed to your device, like Netflix does with movies and television.

Because games are interactive, streaming video games is much more challenging and technological than streaming movies.

Video game streaming requires much higher web standards, and Google Stadia is no exception in this context.

When Netflix moved from its original business to customers for physical DVDs and became a company focused primarily on streaming movies on the Internet, customers had orders.

There were questions about the smaller library of content available through Netflix's digital service, and concerns about the ability of streaming videos to the public that did not fully embrace broadband Internet speeds.

"What if I live somewhere because there are not enough powerful internet speeds?" People wondered.

More than a decade later, this is the same question at the heart of Google's new video game platform, Stadia.

Google Vice President Phil Harrison introduced Stadia at the annual San Francisco Game Developers Conference on March 19.

The idea with Stadia is simple: High-end, blockbuster games are streamed through Stadia to any device you use.

With Stadia, Google says, you can stream the same game to your smartphone that you stream to your home TV, running at the same framerate resolution. No game console required.

This is a bold, ambitious promise, and this one is dependent on a strong, stable web function.

"When we launch," Google vice president Phil Harrison told Kotaku in an interview this week, "we can reach 4K, but only raise the bandwidth to 30 megabits per second."

What this means for the average person is, based on the current LTE and broadband home speeds, you will probably be able to run the Stadia.

The great unknown, on the other hand, is stability.

More than just a powerful Internet owner, Stadia relies on stable Internet connection speeds. If you've ever experienced Netflix buffering, you already know this phenomenon: your internet speed is dripping, or tanks are completely, and the video you're watching stops working as it struggles to load.

It's an inconvenience when you watch a video, but it can be a game breaks if it happens in the middle, for example, a crucial moment in the boss fight.

Unnamed: You're just one hit Unnamed: You finally crush Lady Maria on "Bloodborne" when – Ah! – The internet drops enough speed for the game not to register the button to click on the time. And that's exactly how she won again.

Unfortunately, there is not much you can do to ensure a stable internet connection. Playing during peak hours, when fewer people are connected in your area, will help. And if you are on a portable device, playing in part of your home with thin walls will help to keep the signal better.

But for the most part, this part of the gaming experience is beyond your control.

Harrison said that, if your internet speed dip while playing, the first result is something quite similar to what Netflix does: a decrease in visual trust.

"If you have less bandwidth, we give you a lower resolution, we do a lot for you in the background, and we only offer the appropriate bandwidth for the infrastructure that you have," he said.

A sharper decline, of course, could cause the river to completely freeze; If Stadia recognizes the problem long enough to stop something unintentional from what happens in the game you play remains to be seen.

EFF leader Julius Malema apologized to the ANC after the video of his supporters seemed to gnaw at ANC's posters.

It came after ANC's head of campaigns Fikile Mbalula published the video which since gone viral shows the two men destroying ANC posters posted on the wall.

The criminal men are later blamed for the Ankh friends who were standing nearby.

EFF also apologized in a Twitter post.

She said she had noticed a video of EFF members who had combed the ANC posters and "grossly condemned" the actions and took the necessary steps against its members.

"We apologize to the ANC and commit ourselves to a free and fair democratic competition in these elections," the EFF chirped.

Mabula recognized Malma's response and wrote a "spirit" accompanied by emoticons expressing peace.

Two former League members of the ANC League have always informed the public that they remain members despite Malema being on the opposition bench.

Many Twitter users praised Malma for his quick reaction and leadership demonstration, by responding and apologizing to the ruling party.

During his political travels in the past, Malma repeatedly warned his support against ripping posters or burning shirts and flags of other parties.

We take into account the video circulation of members of EFF removing posters of the ANC. We absolutely condemn such action and take the necessary measures against those combatants. We apologize to the ANC and pledge our commitment to free and fair democratic competition in these elections.
